I moved into my house in January, and since then, some of the tiles in the shower have been flaking away. Photos are attached.
Can anyone offer any guidance on what might be going on and what I should do? Could it be a sealant issue?

Hello everyone,
I am wondering why some surface water repellents for stone easily turns yellow over time? Is it because of their components reacting with atmosphere or rain?
(I am not sure if it is proper to ask this question here . If not, I will delete it.)

I have just installed a new cast iron fireplace and mantle. I’ve also built a raised trim around the old stone hearth and plan to tile inside.

I have recently moved into a house with a tiled kitchen floor and left some plant pots on cardboard on it. This got damp and has caused some brown rings and patches on the tiles where it looks like the colour and surface has been taken off. The rest of the flooring has a shiny coating on it. I...

Hi all,
I have recently sealed my natural stone patio and have found that when it gets wet it leaves a white mark almost as if the sealant has been lifted.
